This Christmas-tree under the hot rays of an August sun is not unlike the real Christmastime tree that many of the little folks in some of the far-away lands will in reality have. For in some of these lands flowers and hot sun rays are with them at Christmastime. This tree bowed down with white gifts will resemble a January tree after a heavy snow-storm. It is a joy tree, for it will send joy to many people. You conclude the service by reading the Bible Christmas story and telling the children our gifts will remind the heathen that peace and good-will is for them also as the angels said, "to all men." Then offer a concluding prayer that our gifts may all be safely transported across the seas and that the presents may make our little brothers and sisters very happy. Now ask the children to help you untrim the tree, and as they take the presents down ask them to load them on one or more small sleds as if sending them far away. Select a number of the very small children to take hold of the ropes of the sleds and to be prepared to march when the order is given. Place on the children at the ropes the names of the countries to which these gifts are going, and let them draw the sleds over the lawn while the other children cheer them as they go on their journey. At last let the children and the sleds disappear behind a cluster of trees at the far end of the lawn where a committee of adults awaits them to receive the gifts and attend to the final shipment to the missionary boards of the Church. When the children come back with the empty sleds announce that just before they go home they can play a "bit." Some days before this event roll up into balls some cotton until they look like snowballs. Let the children gather around the Christmas-tree and play snowball games. Try this little game: Hang up upon the tree a common basket with a handle on it. Give each child a certain number of balls, ask them to stand ten feet away from the basket, and in turn see how many of the little folks can cast into the basket all their balls. Each child continues to cast in the balls until he misses, and then the next one will take his turn. All of the little folks who put all their balls in the basket should be given a small prize which may consist of a few nuts, some fruit, or small candies.
